    "content": "As we construct the railway line from Mombasa to western Kenya, we will also develop industrial parks at strategic locations along the railway line. These industrial clusters will be centres for driving value addition and innovation. But even as we await their completion, I have proposed an allocation of Kshs3 billion and introduced reform measures to revive and make operational, at higher capacity, industries in the textile and leather sub-sector. We are also going to revamp the Numerical Machines Limited to make it a regional hub for railway parts and maintenance services. Hon. Speaker, I have noted with concern that a number of public agencies continue to purchase goods from outside the country, even in cases where such goods are manufactured locally. This is despite the mandatory requirement in the Public Procurement Disposal Regulations of 2013 which compels all international suppliers and contractors to source at least 40 percent of the tender requirements from local firms.
